Thailand 2005

Prologue

In February 2004, I travelled to Thailand for a two week holiday with Martin, an old schoolfriend who has lived just outside Bangkok since October 2001. Twelve months later, I did it again.

Last year I wrote a travel diary, which a great many people seemed to appreciate – Thailand 2004.

I did the same thing in Rome six months later, when I was reunited with Lois Ann, the woman I had fallen for in Thailand – Rome 2004. Things didn’t work out as I had hoped, although we did have a wonderful time. Still, the experience was a little bleak – at least for me – which is why I like to think of this as the “Empire Strikes Back” segment of my travel trilogy – dark and gritty, with some of the best dialogue but no happy ending.

So I guess that by following this analogy, I’m delighted to (finally) present my own “Return of the Jedi Fat Farang”…

  1. You’re right about the tailors! Even I was so impressed with the prices I got. My tailors however was Crown tailors in Sukhumvit soi 8. Seems like i got a slightly better deal then you at about 10,000 for the lot. But i guess any price in that range is good enough!
